Ok, I'm pretty late in posting this, but we went to San Diego in April for Michael's (David's brother) wedding. Since our 1 year anniversary was the day after Michael's wedding, David and I extended our stay to celebrate. The wedding was lovely, although I did get sunburned during all the picture-taking outside of the temple.

We also went to Sea World with David's family, which was a lot of fun. The only downside was that we went on one of those white water rapids rides toward the end of the day when it was getting cooler and got completely soaked. I was expecting it to be like the one at Lagoon where you can make it through only getting somewhat wet, but we were basically drenched. So, we were pretty cold and wanted to leave after that.

We were staying at a vacation rental in La Jolla and we went to La Jolla cove which was pretty close by and saw all the harbor seals that beach there. I enjoyed watching them-you could actually walk out on the beach pretty close to them, they just had the area where they were roped off.

We also went to Balboa Park and Seaport village with David's family and then drove over the big bridge to Coronado Island where I took some pictures of the skyline from across the water.

After the family left, we stayed a couple more days. We went to the San Diego Zoo and saw lots of animals and we also walked around and ate dinner in the historic Gaslamp District of San Diego.

When we left San Diego, I surprised David with a trip to Big Bear Lake in the mountains of Southern California where we stayed at a bed and breakfast for a night. The next day we went hiking and walked around the lake for a bit before heading back home. It was a great trip and it was nice to get away for a while.
